Pavel Sheremet, 44, a prominent Belarusian journalist who had been working in neighboring Ukraine where there are relatively fewer barriers to independent reporting, was killed in a car bombing in Kiev on Wednesday, local media said.
An investigation is underway. Anton Gerashchenko, advisor to the Ukrainian interior minister, said in a Facebook post that the explosion was triggered by a remotely operated bomb planted underneath the car.
Born in Belarus, Sheremet moved to Ukraine two years ago, where he hosted a morning radio show for Radio Vesti. He previously worked in Russia as a TV host.
He was jailed by the Belarusian government in 1997, allegedly for illegally crossing the porous border between Belarus and Lithuania while filming, but he was known widely for this criticism of Belarus' President Alexander Lukashenko.
